The clinical pathway of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a medical management model learned abroad, is a kind of medical management model implemented in order to improve efficacy, reduce the economic burden on patients, and increase the utilization rate of medical resources. This article reviews the literature on the clinical path of TCM in recent years, outlines its development characteristics, research models, evaluation methods, management methods, and then analyzes its advantages and disadvantages in clinical implementation, and thus provides reference for future implementation.

Objective To investigated the effect of tripterygium glycosides(TG)on dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)-induced colonic mucosal damage in ulcerative colitis(UC)mice and its regulatory mechanism.Methods Forty C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a normal group,a model group,and a tretinoin low,medium,and high dose group(administered at concentrations of 9.00mg/kg,27.03mg/kg,and 81.09mg/kg,respectively).The mice in the normal group were free to drink distilled water,and the rest of the mice drank 5%DSS to induce UC modeling.After modeling,mice in the model group were given 0.4ml of saline by gavage daily,and the rest of the mice in the treatment group were given the corresponding dose of TG for gavage intervention.The mass and disease activity index of the mice in each group were compared,and the pathological and histological damage of the colon was observed.Tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),malondialdehyde(MDA),and superoxide dismutase(SOD)levels were measured using the corresponding kits.Western blot Detection of Nur77,tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2(Traf2),nucleoporin 62(P62),autophagy protein-microtubule associated protein1 light chain 3(LC3)molecular expression.Results Compared with the blank group,the body weight,colon length,SOD,Nur77,Traf2,and LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ levels of mice in the model group were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the DAI level,colon pathology score,TNF-α,MDA level,and P62 of the mice were significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with mice in the UC model group,mice in the low,medium and high dose groups of tretinoin polyphenols showed significant increases in body weight,colon length,SOD,Nur77,Traf2,LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰlevels(P<0.05),and mice with DAI scores,TNF-α,MDA levels in the colon,and P62 levels were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Mice in the medium and high dose groups of tretinoin polyphenols pathological scores were significantly reduced(P<0.05).Conclusion TG is able to treat ulcerative colitis through Nur77-Traf2-P62 signaling pathway.
